Looking for a dry application screen protector !!! - Galaxy S III Accessories

So I got this Diztronic Clear GlitterFlex TPU Case with a Phantom skin,but the problem is the case pulls the edge of the screen protector,so I get little bubbles on the upper side of the phone.
I would think a dry screen protector would be better because acts like a tape and would be harder to lift.
Any suggestion on a VERY GOOD dry application screen protector ?
Thanks

The Ultra Optics is pretty decent.

You really should consider using the "search" function on the forum so you can educate yourself about the products before posting questions. There are already dozens of this same question all over this sub-forum.
Read a few threads and if your answer hasn't already been given, then you can ask a more educated question.

Yeah I should know better,next time I will do.
Thanks :good:

There's also this one by SPG which should ship in the next few days

Inside any Incipio case there's a dry app screen protector. They are decent. Better than those "cut to fit" Chinese garbage you buy at accessory stores. Go into an ATT store and ask to try on a case, then just snag it. I work at an att store and we could give 2 ****s about those things, 9 chances out of 10 we would just give it to you. One caveat: the outer edges and the uppermost portion of dry app screen protectors don't seem to stay down due to the slight bevel in the glass. Just my thoughts.

Mine came with one as well,but I screw up installing it.I think I will get the one eao1991 posted.:good:

I just got there screen protectors shipped to me:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00887FJWG/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02
These protectors don't cover the whole screen because of the beveled edges of the phone and it also has an anti glare coating which makes for a matte finish. Some say that it makes the screen grainy due to the coating but I am fine with it. However if it bothers you there is clear version:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00887EPCQ/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk

I have this: http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Rearth-Protector-T-Mobile-Cellular/dp/B0085GI1S4
I am pretty happy about it. Good reviews on Amazon too. It does not cover all the screen but if you have a case with lips you should be OK.

The problem with most dry install screen guards is there isn't much room for error. If there are any motes of dust, micro-particles of dander, a single fiber of terry cloth, or even your goober-ed up fingerprint, will leave a bubble or nubbin on your screen that will drive you clinically insane.
I install dozens of screen protectors of all sorts, shapes, styles, and materials, and I believe I have perfected the dry install application of screen guards for any phone. I have created a video (bear with me, it happens to be my very first "How-To" flick...cuz we all been in a few home made pron flicks...don't deny it...we're all friends here) to help put one of these guys on your phone.
Because I work in the industry and I see the harmful effects that every day life, i.e. coins, keys, kids, animals, concrete, car doors, etc., have on cell phone screens, I HIGHLY recommend a screen protector, of any sort. Preferably one made with hybrid plastic, rubber, polymer, etc materials. They seem to provide the best over all protection. But really, anything is better than nothing. Trust me.
Here's the link to my video. Hit thanks if it helps!
SHOOOOOTS!!

SGP Review by Supish
Well its a dry apply screen protector so it is a little by harder to apply than wet applications. However, it is very smooth, almost no resistance and comparable to the naked screen (almost). Absolutely no yellowing as well and still no scratches so far. Good angle visability and not more of a lint/oil magnet than the naked screen. The one I got was advertised as ultra oleophobic meaning it resists oils, I guess it works.
SGP Oleophobic Screen Protector Review by cheetah2k
I've just received the SGP Oleophobic screen protector. It took me a whole 2 minutes to install and is totally bubble free. You get 2 protectors in each packet, plus bubble removal card, cleaning cloth and 4 dust removal stickers.
Definitely the most complete screen protector on the market.
And it works!!! Awesome i give it 10/10
Skinomi Review by djkinetic:
i use the skinomi screen protectors and they are great in my experience, at the time i ordered it it was the only one available, it is a wet apply, put it on align it, and let it dry and its nearly invisible no bubbles, the material is polyurethane, and supposedly has a uv coating to prevent yellowing, it feels smooth when using the touch screen even tho the texture seems rubbery, its weird cuz u can definately tell its a different texture but ur finger still glides over the touch screen like nothin is there. Only downside is that if u knick the protector it doesnt self repair, for example if u press hard on the film with a fingernail it will leave an imprint that doesnt go away. However they do offer lifetime replacements, overall id recommend it.
Ghost Armor Review by cegna09
Used them on my Aria, and now my Atrix. They are awesome if only for the warranty alone. Great coverage of the phone, great protection, awesome at hiding finger grease on the screen. And if you ever need it replaced they send a new one no questions asked, just mail the old one back to them. Had it on my Aria for 6 months without problems, then switched phones.
EMPIRE Screen Protector Review by vin791
bought the empire screen protector from amazon for $4 (free 2 day shipping w/ amazon student) and it rocks. there's a ~.5mm border on the sides and ~1mm border on the top, doesn't both me though and its super clear. i got it perfectly aligned on the 2nd lay down with no bubbles or dust (make sure you wipe it down really good with the cloth they send). its easier when you start from the top of the phone instead of the bottom. i oull the whole sticky side protector off, align the top and kind of guide it straight towards the bottom. the card they send removes any bubbles that are there at first. no worries. as long as you cleaned the surface well and theres no dust, you shouldn't have bubbles when you're done. great and inexpensive product (compared to competitors)
InvisibleSHIELD Maximum Coverage Review by kmiller8:
Immediately after I applied the skin, I could tell instantly I would love it, mainly because of the texture/feel of the plastic "skin" applied to the phone. It added a nice rubbery feel to it while at the same time not making it any harder (maybe even a little easier) to use the OSK and Swype. You can see in the album on pics 2 and 5 where I had a bit of trouble applying, but those could have been easily avoided, had I taken just a few more minutes to make the skin more even throughout the phone. However the edges of the cover are a HUGE lint magnet especially in pockets but I think (hope) that this is just because it was recently applied. Also, it still fits perfectly in the Standard and Car Dock In the pictures it appears as if there are little bubbles throughout the skin, this is not visible under normal lighting, but the flash of the camera seems to have over exaggerated it.
EDIT: After a few weeks with the protector, I ended up removing the part covering the glass, The atrix just looks SOOO much better without a skin protector on the front, but I did keep the ones on the side and back because it adds a much needed grip to the back of the phone.
Fin
I hope this helps someone decide whether or not to get one of these skins, and personally I like the fact that it appears as if it is just the bare phone, but there is a nice layer of protection throughout the phone, however others will equally enjoy a nice OtterBox Defender or Incipio Feather case (two previous options).
If anyone has any questions feel free to ask, or if you have any suggestions to be added to the first post (kit recommendations, personal reviews) reply below!

do you know of any ways to reduce the lint problem? i was thinking of trying to do something along the edges to remove some of the adhesive
Man, i like invisibleshield but i HATE the yellowing that is guaranteed to happen, and even the peeling of the corners that happens VERY often. makes me rage
Yellowing, corner adhesion, edge lint, and texture = no way Invisibleshield is going on my phone. I used it on my Fuze and it was awful.
Is there any other kind of "full body" clear protector that is better?
Phantomskinz.com is the best imo

Whats the texture of the phantomskin? like is it smooth like the regular phone or more "rubbery" like the Zagg shields.
Also, they're the same price $25 before shipping, but i do like how phantomskinz has a matte version avialable
EDIT: nevermind, apparently you get two kits for $25. i might just try out a set.

Does the body cover wrap around and prevent one from pulling the back cover off?

Yea I have the skinomi screen protector on the atrix as well, and the first day I nicked it with my fingertip and its still there. Also my buddy tried to use the hard end of a capacitive stylus on it and messed it all up... I just ordered a protector from phantom skinz because I only had one on my captivate the whole time Ive had it (since launch) and it still looks brand new. Feels just like skinomi but repairs itself, and you get two for $9.99...

Can you elaboate? Like yellowing? Lint magnent? Angle viewability? Scratch resistant etc etc.
So from this thread and other similar to it:
I should go with either Best skin ever or Phantom Skinz. Question for those that are using the Phantom Skin, did you get the clear or matt finish? What's the difference?

Anyone using Exim Screen Protector on I9100?

Anyone is using Exim screen protector on I9100? Is it perfect fit? Is it a fingerprint magnet? Can anyone share some photo after having it on?
No one using Exim screen protector???
I an using the exim screen protectors. Got them off ebay, shipped from HK. It took 2+ weeks to get them.
I would consider them a perfect fit. They are a tad undersized, but I prefer that; it makes for an easier install.
Exim quality, very scratch resistant, but average when it comes to finger prints. They wipe off easily.
I will take a picture later on and post it.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. How do you rate the installation process. Is it tough to install? How about the process of getting the bubble out? Is there any bubble after the installation? It would be great if you could post so picture. Well I feel that as long as fingerprint and oil stain is easily wipe of, this is consider good.
I found installation to be easy, as it's undersized a tad. If you have ever put screen protectors on, this one is no different. peel off a little of the top while folding down the protective layer and line up the top portion. once you have the top lined up and stuck on pull the rest of the films cover off and let it lay down.
If you didn't get the alignment right, get some clear magic tape, apply a little section to the bottom of the screen protector, lift up while holding the top of the protector in place with your thumb and pivot in place.
If you get any dust in between the protector and screen, apply some tape near the area, lift up and with your other hand stick a piece of fresh tape under the screen protector to grab the dust.
On another note, if you have ever applied a invisible skin like zagg, bodyguardz, or skinomi: you can use the same technique of spraying the protector aligning in place and pushing the fluid out with a squeegee.
I'll look for a good video to show what I'm talking about and post it below.

How is the quality?
It is pretty good and very clear. Fingerprints are easy to wipe off which is good as it does accumulate them easily. The only thing I don't like about it is the cut. It is as per the picture where the home key is cut to the button and the speaker/camera cut to the top.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Been using the EXiM SPUC protectors on all of my phones since my TouchPro and have found them to be very clear but they are prone to fingerprints. I'd personally prefer fingerprints rather than permanent scratches.
On this phone they fit fairly well. The cut outs are well placed and don't obstruct any of the sensors at the top, but they are a little small around the edges (good if you use one of those TPU style cases because the case will be less likely to push on the edges of the protector).
Not much else I can comment on. They fit, they are clear and they are cheap while remaining high quality.
Hi PeteRyde & zehro,
Thanks for the review on the screen protector. I do agree the cutting is not as great as the rest. But most importantly, it is hard enough to resist scratch and is clear. Further to that, the pricing is pretty competitive.

Experiment over. Costly, and I wish I never indulged in it.
Disclaimer: The Exim SPUC would likely be pretty good if the installation went more perfectly than Mary's inception of Jesus H Christ. It felt very smooth, did not scratch or oil at the slightest touch and was extremely clear picture quality wise.
One thing that's wrong with it is that some air bubbles dont' come out, they don't even move, they stay there and become a splodge.
What you really need is about 10 of these in a pack, because if they don't install more perfectly than the inception of Jesus H Christ on your first try, you need to bin them and move on.
Basically my 1st try ended up with lots of air bubbles and some dust/lint underneath beacuse i initially got the positioning wrong, so i lifted it up to realign it, getting more dust in the process.
So I move onto my 2nd try with the second protector in the pack. This time, I get alignment correctly first time. Unfortunately there were still air bubbles and there was a speck of dust where the screen was. The airbubbles wouldn't come out and ended up in sploges, trying to remove that speck of dust ended in more dust on the screen.
So now both protectors were boned. Then I decided to test Exim on it's word that it's protectors are washable, so I blast the silicon side under my tap to get rid of all dust. It did get rid of all dust/lint.
So I try reapplying it wet with just tap water, well it does apply, but the water won't come out properly and leaves skidmarks underneath, even with a squidgee (I have a spare Zagg Invisible shield one).
No good, so I wash it under tap again, then I first of all dry and clean my phone screen with microfibre cloth, then blast it with an air compressor to blast out and dry any escaped water in the bit where the screen joins the side, because I didn't want moisture into phone electronics.
This time I try an "proper" wet solution, I actually have a bottle of that Zagg Invisible shield spray, so I use that and try to reapply the Exim SPUC. It works better than water, but I was becoming increasingly frazzled and another bit of dust got underneath the screen, so I decided to blast screen with air compressor, big mistake, solution streak everywhere. So I take off the Exim protector to wipe excess liquid
I then found the Invisible Shield spray is utterly crap and the whole Zagg thing is just a rip off because the spray solution made a film on my screen, like it was obviously. The I madly scrub with microfibre cloth to get rid of it, thank **** it went.
In a moment of despair, I touch my SGS2 screen with my bare fingers, it was wrong, but felt so right. Like grabbing the fine ass of a lapdancer, something that you're suppposed to look, but not touch.
Then having totally wrecked my new Exim Screen Protectors which costed me $11 or £8. I go back to the 10 pack £1.99 protectors I got of eBay, they're cheap and slutty like the whore of Babylon, but at least they're readily disposable.
I tried and fail to apply 3 more cheap screen pretectors because of dust/link/air bubbles, bin them all and on 4th go, succeed. Experiment over.

What an experience you have. I guess it is due to the area you are in when applying the screen protector. It seems to me dust is all around you which is causing all this agony. You can try the suggestion as listed here. Look at post 1, 2, this and this video for the soap method. You may want to contact Exim and check if you can get a replacement. Anyway how many Exim protector you get in the order?

Atrix screen protector

I've been considering getting a screen protector for a while now. The problem I have is my hands sweat very badly (gross I know) and then the touch screen on my phone goes crazy from the water on the screen. I have never had this problem with any phone I've had before now. I think it is because the Atrix touch screen is more sensitive than any other phone I've had. I was wondering if a screen protector would fix this problem and what some good brands were to try. Thanks

You should always have a screen protector on any smart device you care about. One grain of sand in your pocket can ruin your screen (and your day). That said....
A screen protector will likely NOT fix your problem, as water (sweat) registers as a capacative touch. For a screen protector to "fix" the registration of sweat, it would have to also "fix" the registration of a desired capacitive touch (finger, stylus, or otherwise).
The only manner in which a screen protector could help is if you could find a very hydrophobic one (the repells and beads water), though you would still need to soak up that water with your shirt or a handkerchief or something. I'm not sure they even sell these. Google is your friend, here. Use keywords hydrophobic and/or water-repellent. Good luck, my friend, and let us know if you find anything interesting!

I tried few of a kind and decided to go with Otterbox Defender case which has a transparent front panel.
Refurbished case is about $20-25 and as good as a new one.
No need for screen protector. No mess with applying one...
What if I put on an average screen protector and then sprayed it with some form of water repellent?

Water repellent spray wouldn't work because the screen protectors are vinyl or polyurethane and are not absorbent. Those hydrophobic sprays only work with an absorbent material like cloth or real leather.
Use car wax, something like the rain-x.

That's what I was talking about. It works on car windshields so it should work on a screen protector right?

only one way to find out...!
I have to disagree with the statement that you have to have a screen protector, we have gorilla glass! I have never had a protector and my screen looks great! As for this situation, a protector that has a little rubberized feel might work well. I would read reviews on Amazon and buy the one that people complain the most about it sticking!

FWIW, my wife has been w/o a screen protector since April and I've been with / without one on and off since June.
Still not a single scratch on either phone, however, without one the screen is too smooth, so I'm thinking of going back installing one.
Hope this helps...
I went without a screen protector for a few months. I took the phone outside and noticed TONS of very fine scratches. You could only see them in direct sunlight, but it bothered me enough that I got a screen protector shortly thereafter.
I was thinking to buy a Vikuiti ADQC27. Has anyone tried it?
Thanks
I have to second the rec for the Otterbox Defender case. Having the screen protector built in is pretty awesome and in my experience, it has withstood all kind of liquidy stuff on it and plenty of goopy stuff as well. Like those technical terms?
It hasn't hampered my touch screen through various roms with various sensitivities and my glowing review hasn't even hit all the protection benefits it gives.
Best part? I got mine for about $10 'used' on ebay and while the silicone part was a little loose, a quick email to Otterbox got me a free placement in the mail without any hassle.
I haven't used one myself, but if they make one for the Atrix and if it's what you are really looking for, Zagg stuff has made some of my friends really happy.
You should look into a Matte one where is almost smudge free
altho it looks slightly foggy and scratch easily, but its worth it
make sure u get like a few togehter on ebay so you have backup ones

Can you suggest any brand? Something like the GreatShield Ultra Anti-Glare (Matte)?
I have one on mine, steinheil (SGP), while the protector gets scratched its better than the screen getting scratched.
Can't really tell the SGP ultra crystal protector is on the screen either, other than the few scratches that are on the protector now. Comes with 2 in a package if you get them.
They have an oleophobic one that is suppose to be oil resistant, maybe that one might be ideal? The ultra fine is their matted one.
If you look at the product on their webpage the 'Select a Color' changes the type of protector they have (took me a min to find the different versions they had when I looked again).
Last while the corning glass is tough, with a vickers hardness of 622kgf/mm2 in the unstrengthened and 701 in the strengthened stuff is pretty impressive.
Spec sheet for the glass can be found from corning's site using a google search, made me curious to check it.
While pretty hard something as simple and common as sand can scratch it which has a vickers hardness of about 1000....
Keys, lighters and the like are unlikely to scratch it though as unless its hardened tool steel its hardness will likely be below 650, an edge on a tungsten ring could probably do the trick though.
Anyhow I keep one on my phone, though maybe not really necessary I'd rather have a scratched screen protector than see the glass get scratched.

Zagg and Skinomi are quite nice. I like the Skinomi on my tablet maybe even a bit better than the Zagg on the Atrix, but the difference is very minimal. I'd say the Skinomi may slide slightly better than the Zagg, but you're splitting hairs.
I agree with BeakHill. SGP is great except they scratch easier than Zagg. The Ultra crystal is so clear that they don't even have a cut out for the front camera. The Ultra fine is their matte model and it is good and smooth, the crystal is nicer IMO..
The problem with SGP is they spoil you to the other brands, and they are more expensive.

Looking for a Screen Protector

I'm trying to buy a screen protector preferably with a matte finish. I like the fact that its a smooth finish allowing for easy gliding with your fingers. I also looked up crystal clear ones but I do not know how they feel to the touch. Also I'm trying to look for ones with good cutouts (NOT like this: http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-Anti-G...8-6&keywords=galaxy+s3+screen+protector+matte). Can anyone give me some input or links on amazon?
Have you looked into the Spigen SGP Flex HD screen protectors?
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...3-screen-protector-steinheil-flex-series.html
It's wet application, so I don't know how comfortable you feel about installing them.

Do your fingers glide across it easily or does it kinda stick? I've put invisible shields on my phones before and I hate that its sticky (even when I first applied it) and the orange peel/yellowing effect
From what I know, the Flex HD is pretty smooth to the touch and you won't have to worry about any orange peel/yellowing effect because it's a high quality product.

not sure about the matte finish or the glide for you, but i can tell you i've had 3 screen protectors on my galaxy s3.
first there was the ZAGG. expensive, full body, etc. the screen protector was decent enough, very plyable and stretchy. uses that press and peel install method. cutouts for the phone suck though. they are cut-downs, not cut outs. more area is exposed than needed. i never did like the feel of it either once it was on. that and the store guy goofed the install, so...tore that off.
then there was the protector that came with Incipio case i bought. way different material. stiff and rigid, a harder plastic feel than the soft plyable ZAGG. i think this is that "crystal" type protector. but the cutouts were worse on this than the ZAGG. even more area exposed because of big cut downs on the top and bottom (lots of area exposed up top basically stretching end to end) i did install it though, and i liked the feel and glide more than the ZAGG. it seems more "slippery". unfortunately the top two corners never took (they are awfully pointy due to the big exposure up top). they seemed to be bent up in the packaging. and so that screen protector also came off (i do like the incipio case though).
now i'm onto the Skinomi. came with a skin. the cut outs are actual cut outs. no cut downs, no extra exposure. install was a little harder due to alignment, i swear i think they cut it small. i did get everything to line up eventually though. old school install with the spray bottle. material of the Skinomi is probably more ZAGG than Incipio-like, but it's not quite as plyable as the ZAGG. I do actually like the feel on my finger with the Skinomi. It's not the same feel as the Incipio though, it has a little more "sticky" to it than the hard protector did. pretty pleased with it tho, and it's working thus far.... :good:
anyway, if that helps, cool. if not, thanks for the vent.
Moshi is nice and anti glare... It does cover edge to edge but the blue trim covers up the blue pebble finish. I have the sgp nano optics on the way...

I picked up the Flex HD and installation went smooth. Only thing I didn't like was the spray bottle included which sucked. After installation, the screen is smooth as silk, very little "tug" or any of that yellowing effect. Best part is, it comes with 2:good:

Anyone plan to sell their second piece of their flex hd? =)
I saw in a review video from a guy who posted it on this forums said it had a rubber feel to it. I'm a swype user and I hate when my finger gets stuck because of that rubber feeling. When I felt matte for the first time, it glided so easily that I would never have problems swyping.

I was never a fan of Zagg products, until I had the HD screen protector installed on my S3. Perfectly clear, and its 100x smoother than regular Invisishield products. Id recommend it to anyone.
so I've had a chance to try a few different screen protectors already and I've found that the edge of the S3 display has a slight curve making it difficult for screen protectors to stay down.
the edges on 3 different sp's have done this. I've tried a full screen and then a few that were smaller than the display and still have issues.
The issue is that thick screen protectors just lift up off the curved display over time..
It sounds like wet SP installs are going good though?

I snagged the Incipio Sicrylic (sp?) off ebay. It's the soft rubber case with the two pieces. A snug rubber piece, and an outer "shell" that snaps onto the rubber case. Works really well actually. My daily case at the moment (better than the vent samsung with coin holder, and a straight skin from skinomi - i have the carbon skin)
I could post a link, but I'm a newb and so that's not allowed. I'll try to take a picture or sometghing and update this or my earlier post. Spent all this money on acc's...might as well share with folks so they don't have to repeat my mistakes....
and to the other poster who mentioned wet installs going well - i'll have to agree. vs the peel install on zagg, and the rgular install on the incipio crystal, i've ben happiest with my work and the protector after the wet install on the skinomi.

I am on my second flex hd and I am taking it off. It's been a week and the "rainbow-like" specks or clouds are appearing. It could be the adhesive that's turning into like colorful sandy appearance. Kinda annoying.
I ordered the Spectre but I am not gonna see it any sooner.
I've used dry application protectors on my other phones but its not going to work with the curved glass of GS3. Good luck.

Found a great film protector

Not many post on XDA but I promise you I do not work for this company lol. I've been searching forever for a good screen protector and glass is off the table. Whitestone is too expensive and I know I'd mess it up! I've gone through several brands of films on Amazon that have good/moderate reviews but they have all had poor coverage or just didn't stick down on the edges, and I consider myself a pro at installing films. Found a new one that claimed it used new technology to create a tpu type film and took a gamble on it as there where no reviews/ratings. I am pleased to announce that with proper care putting it on its flawless, adheres 100% to the sides and is almost unnoticeable by touch or look. (Except for that it's film and not glass) I will note however that be careful installing as the adhesive is very strong, and getting dust out after installing is near if not impossible. I'll post pics tomorrow of the product and a pic of my phone with it installed!

Honestly I just got tired of looking for screen protectors. I made this account on XDA forever ago and decided that since I'd finally found one I'd just like to share my experience to maybe save some others frustration. I always lurk around here, have since the Moto a855 days, just never get on and post.
If someone does decide to try one of these protectors and chimes in that'd be great as I know my low post count doesn't make me look very believable lol
ha. yeah, I suspected some time ago, that an employee or more were making accounts promoting their asian battery, with low post counts.

I got mine on without bubbles, but I learned very quickly the adhesive is extremely strong on these screen protectors and getting tiny bubbles out is very hard. You have to choose a large one and push it around through all the smaller ones. As far case usage goes, they fit snug and the only case I own is a OtterBox Symmetry which I have no problems with.
In the description and picture it states these have a 9H rating, and while I've had mine on since Friday without any scratches I have to call BS on that claim. They are a tpu film, feel like film, definitely don't feel like glass but are 100% crystal clear. They seems fairly durable compared to some other PET films I've used, and they are much thicker/heavy duty. (Can't tell once applied however)

No orange peel at all. 100% smooth like PET. I can't stand wet apply protectors because of the orange peel/clarity so I've never used them. Always stuck to cheap PET and this is very similar.
Like I said though, I can't stress enough to be careful putting it on as it has a very strong adhesive. It is still easy to take off and leaves no residue, but getting dust/dirt/hair out after is impossible. It's not like normal PET that uses static.
I did get a short piece of hair on mine when installing, which I'd normally remove or put on a new film after, but with the adhesive and TPU this seems to have just molded around it and it's almost not noticable. Leaves no air as the protector won't push back up. I'm very OCD with my protectors.
EDIT: Also, another note is that where this is a hard TPU film I have noticed it resist scratches very well but will indent like the wet apply protectors when force is applied such as with a finger nail. It does seem to recover after awhile. Funny how it's a TPU that feels like film. Also, 4 days now and no signs of peeling/no scratches. My phone is in and out of my pants pocket all day long.

Use a piece of scotch tape to remove any dust the gets behind it. Just peel up your screen protector then use the tape (sticky side to screen protector sticky side) to pull any dust or hair off the inside.

I tried that. Tape stuck to the adhesive on the film and when pulling off left a mark where the tape was on it. Like I said, the screen protector has a strong adhesive and doesn't use static. Usually only static pet protectors can have dust removed with tape. In this case, the adhesive on the film is stronger than tape.
How's it holding up a week later?
great screen protector
thanks OP for recommending this
I installed mine a bit over a week ago and have to say fairly impressed with it. It is stronger than your normal PET protectors (doesn't get micro scratches easily) and has very strong adhesive as the OP mentioned (great for the edges).
I did buy the case friendly version though instead of the full screen one
https://www.amazon.com/JOLOJO-Protector-Anti-Bubble-Strengthened-Application/dp/B071NZKKT1/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1501007553&sr=8-2&keywords=jolojo
As far as install is concerned - If you have a rubber squeegee (had one from the armorsuite products) it will help greatly. Combine that with the hinge method and you will get a really good install.
Cons
You have to be pretty damn exact for the borders. There is really no room for error.
Not glass but I am definitely happy with it.
I bought a wet install film screen protector and I am loving it... No touch sensitivity issues, easy to install, and self heals scratches... I have used it on on a few past phones as well as smartwatches and have never had any issues with them.

It’s Supershieldz for me.
Got these today. Chuck is right, they are somewhat a pain to install but the result is great. Recommend.
Does the material of the Jolojo feel rubbery like other films do or is it smoother with less friction?
